Overview of the STEM Strand

Designed to prepare students who express keen interest in taking college

degrees focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
(STEM), senior high school students will be exposed to learning activities
that will hone their knowledge and skills in analyzing data, understanding
real-world impacts, and conducting research.

The Objectives of the STEM Strand

The STEM strand is designed to nurture senior high school students’
curiosity, problem solving abilities, and communication skills. With the STEM
strand, graduates will:

 Have developed a keener sense of creativity and ingenuity which

is essential in coming up with new ideas and innovations
 Be more inclined to experiment and be more open to risks
 Be able to apply the knowledge they’ve learned in class in
everyday scenarios, most especially in their future courses
 Have the foundational competencies that will allow them to
excel in their chosen courses and, eventually, help them qualify
for jobs in the STEM strand

Possible College Courses Under the STEM Strand

Senior High School Students that pursue the STEM strand are more inclined
towards complex scientific advancements and the future of modern
technology.

Many of our STEM students go on to apply for undergraduate programs and

explore their preferred specialized fields. Through the courses under the
STEM strands, these students continue to grow into the country’s future
scientists, engineers, programmers, and trailblazers within their niche. The
STEM strand course list can include the following degree programs:
